Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Nice people, building is okay

Pros

The neighbors are friendly and respectful. Rooms are large, and it's a great location.

Cons

The super is always around and a good neighbor, but fixes/repairs to the apartment will be pretty slapdash. Laundry room is often dirty, the machines break constantly. Not usually a long wait to use it though :) Both Lenox (parties) and Caton (trucks) can get pretty loud.

Lovely old building with historical charm left mostly intact. Rent is reasonable.

Cons

Bare minimum improvements are made, some amenities are missing.

Advice to the owners

General facelift and small improvements could go a long way.
